Shirley MacLaine
I'm not sure I'll come back to this planet. I may come back to another one.
Shirley MacLaine
Never trust a man when he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
Shirley MacLaine
Sometimes people who have their lives played out in public don't feel they have the privacy to continually journey within. I did, and that's why I have longevity.
Shirley MacLaine
I love the idea that I'm the oldest one in the room because I can get away with anything!
Shirley MacLaine
Remember what people used to say about meditation? Now everyone is doing it.
